Thinking About Blood Brothers Theatre Breaks?

Blood Brothers theatre breaks are consistently popular with our readers. It’s one of the more emotional and dramatic choices. Willy Russell originally wrote the story as a play and in many ways it retains that power. Russell has said that he doesn’t like traditional musicals and he wanted to write something that was full of real people and feelings. I think it’s probably this authenticity that’s made the show is one of the longest running musicals in the West End.

The main thing is that it’s a great plot combined with wonderful music and shed loads of emotion. This makes Blood Brother theatre breaks a perfect choice for all kinds of people!

Blood Brothers – the Story

Set in 1960’s Liverpool Blood Brothers tells the story of twin boys are born to a loving mother who can’t afford to look after both children. Her wealthy, childless boss, persuades Mrs Johnston to give up one of her boys in exchange for money. The boss offers one twin a home as her own child and better life. They both vow to never tell anyone what they’ve done. Inevitably the two boys, Mickey and Eddie, meet again in when they are older. As time passes they become friends, rivals and enemies and their mothers keep their secret.

Blood Brothers Cast

With such a long running show there have been many cast changes over the years but the production team have always made a point of choosing good acting talent in addition to good voices. The drama is such a big part of the musical that good actors and actresses are vital to it. The current cast can vary but usually includes:

• Mrs Johnstone – Niki Evans
• Mrs Lyons – Louise Davidson
• Mickey – Stephen Palfreman

Of course the two boys, Mickey and Eddie, meet again in when they are older. They become friends but only time will tell if their friendship survives and if their mothers ever tell them the truth about their relationship.
